What is Matergy?


Lauren's Matergy Theory
published by Lauren Dulay, January 27, 2014


I am a universe-enthusiast. Although I am no where close to being as educated as Steven Hawking, nor am I a scientist of any sort, or even a college graduate for that matter, I had this thought a while back relating to the big bang. Now hear me out...
What sparked my attention initially was the fact that every scientist seems to be fine with the idea that the big bang, and everything we know, all came from… nothing.
At first I was thinking that maybe the big bang came from something immeasurable, like dark matter and dark energy, condensed to a single point, leading to the big bang… and I like the idea of dark matter and dark energy, but something still doesn’t sit well with me, because it has to have come from somewhere.
But then I thought what if it’s not dark matter or dark energy at all? What if it was something that already exists in the universe? Something we never thought about? Something immeasurable… something that we just can’t see?
What if it wasn’t an entirely new form like dark matter and dark energy, but a combination of the matter and energy that already exists?

After realizing that matter and energy, combined, could technically have the ability to be stabilized and remain as both, I researched a little bit. I had already come up with the term "matergy" while explaining it to my dad that night. The next day, I found out that matergy is a term already in existence, and I almost gave up, thinking that Einstein had already theorized this thought. But from what I can see, Einstein used matergy as a term a few times, mostly to explain that matter and energy are equal in the sense that they can interact, making his E=mc2 relevant. From what I can tell, there is no actual definition of what matergy is, other than a term to explain matter and energy as equal partners in the universe.

And so, I came up with an actual substance called matergy, which is an exact combination of matter and energy. The same that can be found inside a collision of particles within a star when fusion occurs. For a brief trillionth of a second, perhaps even faster, both particles are uncertain during the collision. Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle is pretty astounding when you think about it. To me, it makes a lot of sense concerning this theory of mine - matergy being a substance in the universe. It seems Einstein did not go too much into this thought of matergy as a substance, and more or less used it as a term, sometimes within the discussion of entropy and heat characteristics interacting with particles. 

What if some matter and energy just stayed uncertain? Who says they have to change? What if all matter and energy began uncertain - as matergy?

I feel that there had to have been something there to be condensed into the big bang. Explosions don’t happen out of nowhere. Stuff doesn’t magically appear from nothing. And assuming we derived from nothing is an understatement of our universe. It constantly is validating that everything comes from something. When you trace matter back to it’s originator, you end up at the big bang. And then it stops. Essentially, everything has an originating place and time, except for the actual big bang.
Matergy technically exists constantly, inside places where fusion happens. I’d like to coin these instances as matergy-instances. Two uncertain particles. But gravity, speed, momentum, heat, etc., all prevent them from remaining uncertain.
What if gravity, speed, momentum, and collisions were all taken out of the picture? Deep in space, where no light, heat, gravity or momentum would disturb these uncertain particles? Much like the state of the universe before the big bang. If these subatomic particles technically started out this way, then they would go on continually remaining uncertain until something caused them to change into their new characteristics of either matter or energy, splitting them apart.
I imagine them as quite strong subatomic particles, taking a lot of force to split apart, which would make sense if they began as matergy... objects resting take a lot of force to change (Newton's First Law) and could therefore basically act as gravity’s counterpart. As gravity pulls things inward, matergy could be slightly pulling outward which would help keep things in place, or in the least help gravity stay in check by adding a slight resistance.
I envision matergy as a plasma - a large clear entity that acts as one, as a cohesive cloud of uncertain particles, without any individual particles of their own.
Where matergy came from, I am unsure of. One possibility I have come up with is that matergy had already existed, replacing what we have assumed was a vacuum of space, theoretically condensing into the big bang like I mentioned earlier. My other theory regarding the resting state of the universe is that the universe was originally entirely matergy, until it became "uncertain matergy", and could explain the volatile nature of our universe, meaning our entire existence is relying upon the uncertain state of the universe's natural position of being a fluid state of nothing and everything at the same time. In other words, our universe that we know is only existing because the universe has been disrupted. 
I could be way off here, but in my mind, it makes a bit more sense than accepting that we derived from nothing, and that black holes turn something into nothing, and so on. The universe is a never-ending, changing, transforming space of matter and energy, so wouldn’t it make sense that there is a platform of just that – matergy – to exist in an undisturbed state, waiting to become it's fate of energy or matter?
Let me know your thoughts, and if there are any huge flaws that I have forgotten to take into account. I’d like some feedback and, in the least, I hope to spark some gears to start churning and get down to the bottom of where we came from.

Edit (June 14, 2015): I saw a few months back that a group of scientists submitted a paper to be peer reviewed about this exact theory of mine - subatomic particles resting as both, resting in an uncertain state, which deterred me from pursuing my theory for a while, as I assume they will find out it's possible, and will credit these folks instead of myself although I came up with this years ago. I just don't have the science credibility to be taken seriously in the industry.. but I remain positive I theorized this first, and publicly posted it here, and came up with the term Matergy. I hope I get some acknowledgement for it to be honest. It took a lot of researching, brainstorming, conversations, debates and otherwise grueling gear churning to be able to get this down on paper and I feel dismissed that someone could have easily read my blog, and published the same theory with different words and terms, through their networking and avenues I can't possibly take without a degree in particle sciences. So if you get a chance or you have the ability to get Lauren's Matergy Theory out there, I'd greatly appreciate the effort and help from anyone reading this.

Thanks!

  1. Either the universe has always existed, or it must have come from nothing. Since exploding out of nothing is completely impossible, as a rational being I favour the former. Physicists are religious beings, so they favour the idea of everything exploding out of nothing, because that is more mystical, and it is what their colleagues believe.

    Some of physics is brilliant, but other stuff is complete nonsense. Although the universe is supposed to have exploded out of nothing, it believed not to have an edge, rather everywhere in the universe is supposed to be the same. Of course that makes no sense, but that is probably part of its appeal. Hawking tries to justify this belief by saying it is like living on a sphere like the earth (which has no edge), except in three dimensions.

    My theory is that space is made spacebubbles, and that matter and energy are just squashed and compressed spacebubbles, which is perhaps a bit similar to your idea.

  2. I would have to disagree with the fact that the universe has always existed, since it is proven to be expanding in all directions. Some theorize that there are actual walls, much like a soccer ball, and that we are one of many multiverses, and could possibly reach that "wall" adjacent to another universe. Kind of like a bunch of bubbles, clumped together to make one giant foamy ball of multiverses. So what you are saying about spacebubbles could be true for all we know. That's why I love thinking about this because we, our generation, could be the one generation in the history of mankind to actually figure it out, if we can expand our general thinking, outside of these physicist's rules, and get to talking about it. We were born with this general knowledge that the moon is reachable, quasars are real, time is a dimension... our parents were not thinking on these terms at all. We have a huge advantage in general to have began life with these facts we take for granted. But first, we'd have to not be so quick to put scholars down, since... they do know what they are talking about. And I don't think its a fair statement to say they are of any religious status. They are the ones that keep digging for the truth. Not to pacify us. In order to figure it out, we would have to work together and put like-minds with like-minds. Thanks for reading! I have another theory I'll be publishing in the future! And I'll update it as I research more!

  3. Matergy is an interesting idea, but a word already exists that encompasses your idea.

    That word is "plasma", which in cosmology terms means an ionised gas.

    The major, ie 99% of matter is in this form still. Plasma is the fourth state of matter, the others being gas, liquid and solid.

    It is possible that the universe would have remained plasma if the energy flowing through the plasma, electricity, which, as it flow creates magnetism and in turn, is capable of causing a constriction in an energised plasma current. The flow of electricity is now entrapped in a new entity.

    The man-made equivalent is called a capacitor, this can hold a massive amount of electromagnetic energy. The entity arising, in nature, from the constriction of the flow of electricity is called a plasmoid. This construction is called a "Z" pinch.

    This plasmoid can hold an immense amount of power, in the form of electromagnetic energy. As this increases the space taken up by the plasmoid is small compared to the amount of electricity entering into it. This compresses the electricity, slowing it down and it begins to change its form. At this point it begins to glow as the kinetic energy is converted into heat and light. It is still electricity but it is changing its form from an energised plasma as it loses heat and light into a cooler and more dense material made up of electricity.

    It continues to cool, becoming a solid object, still behing fed with the electromagnetic energy it now grows as a solid mass capable of entrapping more of the loaned energy and passing on less of the energy than it receives.

    The universe has created its first solid entity. This type of event will happen many, many times. The type of solid entity produced depends entirely on the size of the current, this could be a star, a quasar, or even a planet.

    So, I think you can now understand why I said that I like your idea.
